Why do some marriages fail? wrong priorities
10 Don’t all of us have the same father? Hasn’t the same God created us? Why are we unfaithful to each other? And why do we dishonor the promise given to our ancestors? 11 Judah has been unfaithful! A disgusting thing has been done in Israel and Jerusalem. Judah has dishonored the holy place that the Lord loves and has married a woman who worships a foreign god. 12 May the Lord exclude anyone who does this, whoever he may be. May he exclude them from Jacob’s tents and from bringing offerings to the Lord of Armies.
13 Here is another thing you do: You cover the Lord’s altar with tears. You moan and groan because he no longer pays attention to your offerings or accepts them from you.
14 But you ask, “Why ⌊aren’t our offerings accepted⌋?” It is because the Lord is a witness between you and the wife of your youth, to whom you have been unfaithful. Yet, she is your companion, the wife of your marriage vows. 15 Didn’t ⌊God⌋ make you one? Your flesh and spirit belong to him. And what does the same ⌊God⌋ look for but godly descendants? So be careful not to be unfaithful to the wife of your youth.
16 “I hate divorce,” says the Lord God of Israel. “I hate the person who covers himself with violence,” says the Lord of Armies. “Be careful not to be unfaithful.”
Mal 2:10-
First issue God has is: the priest won’t listen & won’t give honor to God’s name, So God says he will curse the blessing that they give, God states in verse 3 he is going to punish the priest descendants and cause them to have manure splattered on their faces from festival sacrifice. And then he would throw them out with the Manure pile.
God then explains in verse 5 he has made a promise to Levi of Life and Peace, so that Levi would respect God, And That Levi respected God and stood in awe of his name. And the Teaching form his mouth was true. Nothing unjust was found on his lips. He lived in Peace and honesty and turned many people away from sin.
Verse 6-9
6 The teaching that came from his mouth was true. Nothing unjust was found on his lips. He lived with me in peace and honesty and turned many people away from sin.
7 “A priest’s lips should preserve knowledge. Then, because he is the messenger for the Lord of Armies, people will seek instruction from his mouth.
8 “But you have turned from the ⌊correct⌋ path and caused many to stumble over my teachings. You have corrupted the promise made to Levi,” says the Lord of Armies. 9 “So I have made you disgusting, and I have humiliated you in front of all the people, because you have not followed my ways. You have been unfair when ⌊applying⌋ my teachings.”
